Hacked!
Monday, September 21st, 2009Yeah, my site got defaced by some Italian guy (or something). As far as my previous hosting arrangements were concerned, it was the last straw. Seriously, 3IX sucks. They go down all the time and they aren’t such great value for money when you consider that. Also, for some reason, when I logged in today to check out my account (they were offline last night when I discovered I’d been hacked, COINCIDENTALLY) they were listing my password as the default and horrifically-insecure one you get assigned with when you sign up, not the one I changed it to ages ago. Dunno what’s up with that, but if there was an exploit anywhere it would be in my insecure account password.
Anyway, I’ve packed up and moved to greener pastures. I’m now on a faster and more local host (cheers, COVE *clink*), and I have a shiny new domain! I’ve also been rearranging and editing some of my past posts and pages. Regular ranting and whining will resume shortly.
